Looting in low-sec

Tuesday, August 14th, 2012

Gas, gas, rocks, and a magnetometric site. The Sleepers are stirring in the home system again. I activate the new sites, so that they will stop cluttering my scan results within a few days, and resolve and jump through our static wormhole to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A ...

Dying connections don't lead to dead systems

Monday, August 13th, 2012

W-space has felt quiet lately. Hopefully I can stir up some trouble tonight. Home has me all alone again, and I resolve our static wormhole so I can visit the neighbours. They're out, it seems, as my directional scanner shows a tower and no ships from the K162, and it's ...

Ships in towers

Sunday, August 12th, 2012

It looks like I have a new site in the home system, but it actually turns out to be a new direction to explore. I like that. The signature resolves to be a wormhole, and a K162 from deadly class 6 w-space too. But a wormhole is a wormhole, and ...

Rejected by a wormhole

Saturday, August 11th, 2012

The sites are returning. A new rock field gives me something else to resolve than just our static wormhole, but not an option of system to explore, so I jump to our neighbouring class 3 w-space system. A clear result from my directional scanner on the K162 isn't too discouraging, ...

Creeping up on a Cheetah

Friday, August 10th, 2012

Some Sleepers are coming back to the home system, with two anomalies already showing up on my scanners. It's well known that three's a crowd, so I leave my new guests alone by resolving our static wormhole and jumping to the neighbouring class 3 w-space system. My directional scanner is ...

Looking for trouble

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

Now that's a clean system. Rocks, rocks, and a wormhole. No anomalies. And it's the w-space system we call home. I'd best go next door so that I don't muss up the place and get Fin mad with me. C3a has one of those J-numbers that sounds familiar but really ...

Clearing the home anomalies

Wednesday, August 8th, 2012

Would you look at that. Some roaming fleet has blitzed all of our anomalies, bar three. And those three may have spawned overnight. It's a bit of a disappointment, really. All of that Sleeper action, and not even a salvager for me to shoot. On top of that, they don't ...

Empty space is quiet space

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Shev's scanning our neighbouring system. 'Seems quiet here', he says, as I join him in an occupied but inactive system. In the bookmarks he's made I spy a connection in addition to the exit to low-sec empire space, and warp to appear next to a K162 from class 2 w-space. ...

Death by aggression

Monday, August 6th, 2012

The home system clutter is down to one pocket of gas, which looks much nicer. It is then increased to two pockets of gas as I scan, which is still better than before, and after I activate the new site I jump through the only wormhole to our neighbouring class ...

Exploration and ships but nothing to show for it

Sunday, August 5th, 2012

I'm a bit sleepy, and w-space looks the same. I'm alone in the home system and there is no constellation mapped. The situation changes a little when I launch probes to scan, and one extra signature becomes three. It's not that the signatures appear, more that a couple of bookmarks ...
